Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 celery stalks
  • 1 small white onion (or half of a large one)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon oil (avocado, canola or vegetable)
  • ½ cup chicken stock or bouillion cube dissolved in boiling water (120ml)
  • ½ tablespoon dried Italian herbs
  • cup chopped fresh parsley (a small handful)

Instructions

  • Snap off each end of the celery stalks and remove the tough strings (you don't have to remove them all, just the ones that pull off easily).
  • Cut the celery into 1 inch pieces, cut on the diagonal. Dice the onion and garlic as finely as you can.
  • Add the butter and oil to a skillet and place on a medium heat on the stovetop. Once hot, add the celery, onion and garlic to the skillet.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, til the onion starts to soften.
  • Add the chicken stock and Italian herbs to the skillet, and place the lid on. Let the stock come up to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Take the lid off of the skillet, and add in the chopped parsley. Cook for a couple minutes more til the remaining stock has evaporated.
  • Serve.

Notes

  • Cut the celery on the diagonal. This will help the celery to cook quicker and absorb the flavors from the stock.
  • Take care not to overcook the celery and during sautéing, stir regularly.
  • Don't add more stock than stated, or the celery can become mushy.
